Despite all the efforts from the last episode, Rei and the contestants were caught by security and were apprehended for breaking in. Footage was distorted or was incoherent as the cameraman was assaulted in the process. However, special permission was granted for this scene.

…

Rei and the contestants sat on a couch while staring at a flamboyant pale man with a black mullet hair style and tacky yellow suit that has moving patterns of bats flying. The man looked at Rei with empty eyes with the occasional glance at Jeanne.

“Ah, welcome! If I had known that this was part of show, I would have welcomed you all more!” said the man.

“This is my father,” Jeanne said.

“Oh… hello Mr. De Luca?” Rei said with a concerned look.

“Hello,” Noel said.

“Pitiful,” Eriza said as there was a vampire maid towering over the queen.

“Not in front of him!” Jeanne whispered.

“Ah, peace until otherwise,” Luca said as the maid backed off. “Now, I see that you want your collection back.”

“Damn straight! This man is a crook,” Rei said.

“So am I!” Luke said enthusiastically.

Noel wanted to say something but she covered her mouth. She glanced at the vampire maid that was looking over Eriza to be cautious. Only for the maid to stare at Noel straight into her soul.

“I suppose you want a deal for the return of all of the heads?” Rei said. “Because money is out of the table.”

“I figured as much which is why I do need you to do me a favor,” Luca said.

Kerry had a gun assembled and presented it to the vampire mobster. “Who do we have to kill?”

“Not yet but you see… since the controversy just now with my partner, I got an idea for a finale,” Luca said. “You all perform for my bambino Petunia’s 69th birthday which is next week on Friday.”

“69, pfff!” Eriza said.

“No! Don’t think of anything dirty!” Luca said. “Especially the scaly one!”

“What did I do?” Eriza asked.

“Hmm, how fortunate as it’s my little cousin’s birthday as well,” Rei said.

“I suppose I can fit her in. Petunia… doesn’t really have friends and family is busy. If you can also fit in more people, that would be better,” Luca said.

“Are you fucking serious?” Mr. Dawn said. “We should kill them on the spot! She’ll get in the way!”

“Now you see, we are partners but um… I kind of need them,” Luca said. “And well, my failure daughter is friends with them.”

“Oh papà,” Jeanne said.

“What? You sparkle like those Twilight Vampires,” Luca said. “And well, your mamma is human. But I still love you dear.”

“Argh…” Jeanne said.

“But don’t think papà be biased in competition. Your little sister is the judge. It’s either she like or no like,” Luca said.

“What happens if she ‘no like’?” Noel asked.

“She sucks your blood or takes your head. Maybe even both!” Luca said.

“Oh no…” Noel said.

“I’m sorry,” Jeanne said. “My father is… unique.”

“Now payment be heads and more heads not from store for each like from Petunia,” Luca said. “But I’m keeping the pretty pinkie head since that is a Petunia gift.”

“What if I trade you for a Queen head instead? Better than pretty?” Rei said.

“Oh f*ck you!” Eriza said.

“Hmm… deal! She fits the house better than pinkie,” Luca said.

“I’m a contestant and I require my head to perform!” Eriza insisted. “I will not submit to a lowly criminal such as yourself!”

“WRRYYYY!” the vampire maid cried as more came through the door and had their fangs and claws out.

“Hmm… hmm… how would you like some of my meatballs?” Luca said.

“Trying to seduce me?” Eriza asked. “That’s my job.”

“Hard to get. I love that!” Luca said.

“Okay okay! How about we talk to Petunia and plan from there?” Rei said.

“Oh papà!” Jeanne moaned.

“Oh hell no! I spent months trying to get my revenge and I want this bitch killed!” Mr. Dawn said. “I can’t be making money if she gets away with it!”

“You can always steal her heads again,” Kerry suggested.

“It’s a one trick pony!” Mr. Dawn said. “This bitch would find a way to betray you!”

“Oh how do you know?” Rei asked.

“See!” Mr. Dawn said.

“I’m going to ask you to not betray me, please,” Luca said.

“Fine!” Rei said. “For payment, I want the Pinkie Head!”

“Deal but I’m taking the Queen head after she performs,” Luca said.

“F*ck you all!” Eriza said.

“I swear! I will screw you all somehow!” Mr. Dawn said.

“Get in line, peasant!” Eriza said.

…

In a room filled with dolls and objects, layed a small vampire girl with a gothic lolita dress and tied up black tails. Despite being in bed, she remained awake and staring at the ceiling. Keeping quiet and not saying a word. The door of her room opened which prompted her to stand right up on her bed.

“Meet my little sister, Petunia,” Jeanne said.

“Shut it halfing!” Petunia said quietly.

“I like her tastes,” Kerry said. “Especially the dress.”

“Me too!” Noel said.

“Hi… Petunia… we plan on performing for your birthday,” Rei said.

“I’ve heard through my connections,” Petunia said in a raspy and tired voice. “I shall give you a prompt like in your show. What I want to see is… torture.”

“Eh?” Rei asked.

“Pain, suffering, despair. Masochistism or sadism. I want you to feed me your sorrow,” Petunia said.

“I like how this girl thinks,” Eriza said. “No wonder you are considered a failure Jeanne.”

“Not now!” Jeanne said as she looked embarrassed. Even worse was that Petunia nodded in agreement with Eriza.

“I don’t care who suffers, someone must suffer in the act. Nothing cute and fluffy. I want dark and metal,” Petunia said. “Or else.”

“Besides our heads?” Eriza mocked.

“I like to play with toys,” Petunia said as she clapped her hands. Candles lit up to reveal that the room was filled with corpses or barely alive victims. All of them appear mutilated, barely human, or ripped off. Blood stained and…

“Jerome! Stop recording this!” Rei said.

“Gotcha!” Jerome said as he pointed away.

“Do you get the idea?” Petunia said.

“Question,” Noel asked.

“Go on,” Petunia said.

“Can the victim remain alive?” Noel asked.

“That is ideal so I can hear them scream. I’ll ask papà to provide some victims. Don’t worry, we’ll use people who deserve it,” Petunia said as she giggled.

“I think we’re fine,” Jeanne said.

“I’m not talking to you, halfling!” Petunia said.

“I have to agree with her,” Noel said.

“So do I,” Kerry said.

“I don’t mind either way,” Eriza said.

“Whatever,” Petunia said. “I just know that halfling will disappoint.”

“Er…” Jeanne said.

“So um… I’m just the hostess and I’m just gonna make sure these girls impress you,” Rei said.

“If you can, add some blood,” Petunia said.

“You do realize that this is on TV, right?” Rei asked.

“Oh… that is a shame. You all better be creative about this,” Petunia said.

...

Back at the shop, it was morning and Luna was having a wand out as she wore a kid sized version of Rei’s magician outfit. She looked around and pointed her wand at wherever in case someone came in to invade. The door opened as Luna aimed her wand at them.

“Freeze!” Luna said.

“Hold it! I’m extra help!” said a tan and curvy woman.

“How do I know you’re not a spy?” Luna asked. “I got us recorded and you cornered!”

“Um… Please?” the woman asked.

“Oh. You know the password. Okay then,” Luna said.

“I still can’t believe that she put you in charge,” the woman said. “I can do more things besides babysitting!”

“We still got some work to do, an extra guy to help, and hmm… I’m forgetting something,” Luna said.

The door opened to reveal Officer Rudy as he had a mug of coffee ready at hand. “I got permission to guard the stop for a while.”

“Ally Sterling,” the woman said as she looked at the officer.

“Rudy,” the cop said. “And Luna, don’t you have school today?”

“Oh right!” Luna said. “Thanks officer!”

Luna got her bag ready and ran out of the store immediately. Both the cop and security guard looked out as if to wonder what was going on.

“I better be paid extra if I’m babysitting!” Ally said.

“It’s not that bad!” Rudy said.

…

In a dark dungeon, Rei had the girls assembled where they were mostly distracted with the tools scattered all over. There were bladed tools either hung up or scattered all over the floor while coated in blood. Whips were rolled up but placed in a pile. The walls and floor were murky with blood.

“I shall strangle you with whips while you are trapped in gags,” Kerry said.

“No! Luca said that we got to make it sfw,” Rei said. “He had a talk with Petunia about that.”

“Thank goodness,” Jeanne said.

“Aw man…” Eriza said as the girls noticed something off with her.

“Eriza… what did we say about clothes?” Rei asked.

“Oh… right,” Eriza said. “I f*ck Jeanne’s father.”

“You what?!!!” Jeanne asked.

“He convinced me while I was bored. He delivered and I shall reward him in time,” Eriza said.

“Not cool!” Noel said.

“Huh?” Kerry said.

“Please excuse me… I’m not in a good mood,” Jeanne said as she left the room.

“Great! Just great! There are heads in trouble and we all need to do our best to not only get our heads back but also the extras laying around here!” Rei said.

“Maybe look for Jeanne when she is feeling better,” Kerry said. “Shall I comfort her as well?”

“You may,” Rei said. “Just rehearse with me somehow.”

Kerry went after Jeanne, leaving Rei alone with Noel and Eriza. Noel had her robe to cover up Eriza as the Queen just shrugged on the matter.

“Alright, starting with you two,” Rei said.

“May I recommend we continue the duo theme as well?” Noel suggested. “I’d imagine that Petunia might be bored going through all four performances. Also, you would not have to deal with us hurting you as you make sure de Luca keeps his promise.”

“Hmm, that is a good idea. The biggest risk is that the deal will be less for having less performances,” Rei said.

“Make it be between two of us,” Eriza said. “Or out of 10?”

“That may twist the amount of likes to our favor,” Rei said. “I like it!”

“As for our act, we plan on making it be themed after Elizabeth Bathory,” Noel said. “Eriza would find a way to extract me while keeping me alive and bathing in it.”

“This is messed up but that’s the theme,” Rei said as she was looking uncomfortable.

“We thought of this on the way home from camp,” Eriza said. “All we need to do is make me understand the spells that Noel instructed me while making it look classy.”

“Detachment is something I am a master of while this… this is risky,” Rei said.

“I am willing to take the risk,” Noel said. “I have plans for any strange circumstances and in case if you can butt in.”

“Alright, let’s brainstorm more ideas and make it work!” Rei said.

…

“Are you alright?” Kerry asked Jeanne who sat by the stairs.

“She f*ck my papà! I’m not ready to call Eriza another mother!” Jeanne whined.

“I cannot relate your demise in the matter but… just know that you have my support,” Kerry said.

“Thanks but… now I have horrible images of what Eriza did to my father!” Jeanne said.

“Pathetic looking?” Kerry asked.

“Well, I know my papà is really passionate when it comes to women,” Jeanne said. “Sometimes can’t help to suck them up. Literally.”

“I see,” Kerry said. “I’m only doing what I think you need since you were there for me.”

“I suppose you are right,” Jeanne said. “I think my mind is getting… wait no… now the image is scarring me again.”

“Huh… the more I think about it, the image of Eriza and your father doing it is disturbing,” Kerry said.

“AHHHHH!” Rei screamed as she was behind the two.

“Oh, Rei Shinozaki. You came for us!” Kerry said.

“I was checking on you two while Eriza and Noel were doing their own thing until I heard what you two were talking about. It was disturbing,” Rei said.

“I know, right!” Kerry said.

“Please stop talking about that!” Jeanne said.

“Anyways! We are sticking with duos and need you two think of something!” Rei said.

“I don’t know if I can think of something on the fly,” Jeanne said. “I know my sister is biased towards me for being half human and a failure in the family. My music would annoy her and the fact that I sparkle in the sun brings shame.”

“Wait… why do you sparkle?” Kerry asked.

“What?” Jeanne asked.

“I might have an idea for our act but it will be morbid. At the same time you will satisfy your sister,” Kerry said. “However, I need a work around with the idea to keep you alive.”

“From my understanding, my body hardens and wants to crack instead of burning to ash,” Jeanne said.

“I guess doing some reading on your anatomy did pay off in the end,” Kerry said. “Now we just need to make sure you won’t die.”

“I hope I can trust you with this,” Jeanne said.

“I swear in my life,” Kerry said.

“A lot less bloody than Noel’s idea but I will help too,” Rei said. “Prepare for practice! Jeanne will need to gain some resistance and Kerry needs to learn some extra magic on the side! Are you two ready?!”

“Of course,” Kerry said.

“Perhaps there is another idea?” Jeanne said.

“Working on it,” Kerry said.

“Oh…” Jeanne said.

QnA:

The following will have the girls type out messages instead of the usual gimmick. Pretty Pink will not be available to answer any questions for now.

From Tigerman2011:

Uggh, sorry I missed last episode, was sorta sleeping, that damn vampire and his knifes. Wait, the head store got robbed!? Fuck! I didn't get to buy that elf's head!

I uhh, guess i'll be looking after the place then if that's alright with you. I kinda owe you for letting me in.

And the assassin's name is Kerry? This is just as shocking to me as the time I mispelled my real name Taegoremohn with my birthday numbers I thought was part of my name while learning english so my username is forever stuck as Tigerman2011, curse my idiocy! I mean, I'll take Kerry over Killer anyday, at least it's not as bad as my accidental username.

Also, I suppose I have a question. If all of you fail can I have the head store? I promise as a demon I will be collecting heads through f̶o̶r̶c̶e̶,̶ ̶e̶x̶e̶c̶u̶t̶i̶o̶n̶,̶ ̶C̶O̶N̶Q̶U̶E̶S̶T̶!̶ err, peaceful methods of course.

“Um… I don’t exactly trust you so I’ll have to say no,” Rei said. “On any offers you have.”

“I'd rather not talk about that fact about me,” Kerry said.

“Just leave the heads and me alone,” Rei said. “Not in a good mood.”

From Gwiber49:

So Mr. Dawn was the bad guy all along?

Why am I not surprised? To me and my whip-poor-wills, he was pretty sus from the start. Though I do apologize for not warning you sooner, as I was preoccupied with other things, and my whip-poor-wills were being a little more obnoxious than usual.

I do hope you all manage to bring this deplorable monster to justice and make it back in one piece.

“No sh*t!” Eriza said.

“It’s the fat that tripped me off. I swear, he looked much more different than before,” Rei said.

“Us contestants never really interacted with him so we were not really aware of all of this,” Noel said.

“Thanks for the consideration, though,” Rei said.
